Orpheus mourns the death of his beloved Eurydice and decides to rescue her from the underworld. Through his singing, he overcomes the demons, but the gods impose one condition.
Orpheus and Eurydice by Divadlo na cucky is an original, performative adaptation of the classical myth that departs from the traditional operatic form: it becomes an intimate stage work situated between musical theatre, performance, and experimental production.
The story turns into a reflection on death and the concept of hell—not as a mythological place, but as a personal, human experience of pain, loss, guilt, or separation.
